We changed our thoughts and ideas several times taking into consideration overall living space and cost-effectiveness. With list in hand, we started to incorporate our ideas into our design and our new home started to take shape. We made a list of our ideas: garage, bathrooms, kitchen layout, closets, and laundry room. We sat down and discussed the things that were important to each of us. Step two was beginning the design process. Then we started to imagine what we wanted to build. Step one to our dream home was accomplished. We found a piece with just over 5 acres of land, in a good school district and close to town, old stone walls and several apple trees were already in residence there. Step one was to find our perfect piece of property. We realized our dream by beginning with a plan. We purchase our land and paid payments until we could sell our first home and pay off our land, thereby establishing equity in our property before we began to build our dream home, our log cabin in the woods. A piece of property with stone walls, apple trees and room to grow our family. While we lived in our starter home, we found our dream property. We wanted to pay toward a mortgage instead of paying rent to someone else. We knew we did not want to stay there forever, but it was a good home to start with, since it was just the two of us, at that time. We had built our very first home, a two-bedroom ranch, our starter home. Back when my husband and I first got married, we were young and just starting out in life.
